Bio
Vandhana Narayanan
I had the privilege of working for Francois, a highly passionate and inclusive leader. His enthusiasm and commitment to Systems Engineering played a huge role in bringing Systems-thinking to Stryker. He actively encouraged inter-divisional collaboration and pushed his teams to get outside their comfort zone, constantly looking for innovative ways to do product development. No new idea was too silly or far-fetched with him, I greatly appreciate having a Senior Director who always made time for impromptu brainstorming sessions with engineers!

I worked together with Francois at MAKO for several years. From the beginning I was very impressed with his quality oriented mind set. He is very technical manager and don't hesitate to do the hands on work. He always ready to dive into any technical details and ego to help others to understand the issues. It was my pleasure to be at the same team with Francois.
